Compound curved-surface mirror*
On the driver’s side, a compound curved-sur-
face mirror is used, while on the front passen-
ger’s side, a single curved-surface mirror is used.
1- Compound curved-surface mirror
2- Single curved-surface mirror
While the single curved-surface mirror has a fixed curvature, the compound curved-sur- face mirror has different curvatures between
the inner and outer sides of the boundary line
(A).
The inner side of the boundary line provides
the same vision as that available from an or- dinary door mirror.
However, the outer side of the boundary line
provides a wider angle of vision compared to an ordinary door mirror.WARNINGl The sense of distance that you get from an
object you see on the inner side of themirror boundary line differs from the
sense of distance that you get from an ob-
ject you see on the outer side.
An object you see on the outer side of the boundary line of the mirror will look far-
ther away than actually is as compared
with an object you see on the inner side.To adjust the mirror position

extend the mirrors using the mirror retractor switch for about 30 seconds.CAUTIONl It is possible to retract and extend the mir-
rors by hand. After retracting a mirror using
the mirror retractor switch, however, you should extend it by using the switch again,
not by hand. If you extended the mirror by
hand after retracting it using the switch, it would not properly lock in position. As a re-
sult, it could move because of the wind or
vibration while you are driving, taking away your rearward visibility.
